Yes but not from this source. This was from a lawyer, which was what spooked me. And, if someone was just going to make up a rumour,Pardew is not a name you would make up. My reading of it after the statement tonight is that the club cleraly has a Plan B which they will implement the moment they lose faith in Hughton. Seeing the same lawyer next week so will try to get more info.

I nearly s...t myself when nufc.com also mentioned his name in their report on the WHU match

I laughed as well at the time. But these guys are on of London's largest firm of sports and entertainment legal firms and have no reason to make this up. I sincerely hope they are of course.

Our London lawyers told us two weeks ago that Pardew was being lined up, to the extend that a draft contract was in place. I can only guess from that they they have prepared it. I refused to believe it but I am not sure all of a sudden...

krul fantastic. Dominated his area. Harper wouldn't have come for most of those crosses

Don't know if anyone else has said it but looked like Insomnia's second may have got a slight deflection.

i think that is the worst penalty decison I have seen. Ever. The Chelsea fans agreed as soon as they saw the replay.

can't get a ticket for love nor money outside the ground, so watching it on TV in their posh bar. There is nothing more enjoyable than being among away fans when yur team is winning....

I agree. Blackpool did really well and we were far from perfect but the score was a travesty. And I actually think that Barton is starting to really look the part, now that he is fit. Still tries too many over-ambitious balls, but has real vision. And I did used to really hate him.

Chris Waddle has got it so wrong. How many saves had Harper made/had to make?

Definitely not. He has been a great servant and a good keeper but, due to his age, he is far too slow. He has made some good saves this season and a few great ones but I fear he will be badly exposed in the Prem, at this stage of his career.

couldn't see in the second half but Williamson was our best player in the first half IMO

Don't agree at all.

He was just immense. I've never seen anyone more able (in this league anyway) to beat two players at once.

Literally?! ps to be honest, part from our three goals, that is exactly how Swansea played against us at St James Park...

still f....g queuing

It was clearly a different Carroll then I guess who sored those two goals against West Brom I guess. Tell me ANY goal that any of the above scored that was as good as either of those goals. Including Reilly's match winner against Liverpool. Yes that was horrible today and far too timid, but GET SOME PERSPECTIVE EVERYONE, FFS.

in Orlando. Can watch it on Sky Player on my laptop but will it be on TV in Sports Bars?

Trying to follow the match in Orlando using this slit-wrist thread is terrible. Every F5 is just unbearable!

I have never seen a worse refereeing display. Ever.

disgraceful penalty. Was 10 yards away ad he had his arms all over Kadar

I thought Harper was perhaps at fault for the first goal. he doesn't make much ground across his goal at all when he dives, if you watch carefully. Sometimes his reflexes are fantastic, sometimes his movement looks really lethargic to me.

Was it a good game on TV? Think that was one of the most exciting matched I've ever seen at SJP, certainly since we should have won the title in 96. We were completely overrun in midlfield and down our right side generally but I think the team deserves huge credit for not buckling and creating lots of chances of our own. Great game.

I know it's frustrating but I cannot think of another Newcastle player I have watched (including Ginola and Robert who I loved) bar Beardsley or Waddle who could have got into that position at the end. He bought us SO much time tonight. Compare the left side tonight with the right side.

Jonas looks like he's never played football in his life before, in the warm up. Hilarious!
